NEW POULTRY BREEDS.
A Shadow That Is Eagerly Pursued
Many Chicken Fanciers.

Many Chicken Fanciers.
Tt is we'll established fact that new
and improved breeds can be formed if
the right course is followed. 1t has
been done, and very effectually rs we
all know. The Brahmas and Plymouth
Rocks are both notable instances. But
even after breed has been successfully
established it can be greatly inn
proved upon by careful, judicious mat
ing, and many of the breeds we have
to-day are far superior to the descrip-
ton of them when they first came into
public notice.
A distinct separate breed is not. how
ever, as easy to form as many breeders
suppose. 1t is often the case that be-
ginners get an idea into their heads
that they can establish some new Va
riety with but very little trouble, and
generally they are very DESTROYS of
having this honor. Cases have come
under my notice and observation, where
the beginner starts with glorious ex-
pectations and thinks he can form a
new and popular variety by expert
menting two or three years and cross
ing some of the breeds we now have,
but in most cases. instead of producing
any thing valuable and distinct. the
result is generally very mixed flock,
both in looks and reality.
have had long letters from just such
beginners who 90 into details and ex-
plain Just what crosses they have made
and what kind Of chicks they succeeded
in getting, and they then want to know.
Or get some idea of what the result
would be by crossing still another breed
with the mixture they already have.
The principal object in breeding is to
get some uniform color that is little
differehs from any thing we may have.
and in most cases they do not pay any
particular attention to the useful quail
ties of the fowls they use in mating
their hens, their highest aim being to
place some new colOred breed on the
market with their name as the origin
ator.
Now. there has never been and can
never be any new breed established and
become useful and popular except
through long years of labor. expert
menting and watching the results OBJ
tained by slow degrees during the care
full manipulations necessary to produce
the breed.
Now, it seems reasonable to me, and
think it would to any person who has
watched such experiments, that it would
De mucn better in the end, and more
profitable to these beginners. if they
would use their study and experiments
on the breeds we already have, and try
to improve them and bring them up to
a higher standard of excellence.
1t would be much better to give par
ticular attention to the utility or real
value of the stock. such as laying Ca
pability. large size. etc, ETC., and only
select the best and most promising spec
linens as breeders, and in such cases
the result would be that the fowls would
reach much higher standard of util-
ity, and it would be much better for all
concerned if this method of breeding
was followed carefully, rather than
irving to form some new breed of diff
fcrent color, but having TO particular
merit.-Geo. r. Mar stoB, ~ WesteTn

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-12-11

The record of the present year. up to
November LIST, with two of the mo t
dangerous months still to come, is al
ready ahead of that of 1886.
Our national resources are so immense
thar the country has not yet seriously
felt this drain, but it is evident that the
time must come when it will feel it.
This is especially true i; we take into
consideration the amount of money
spent annually in fighting fire. New
York's ire department alone costs
more than 81 100000 annually; its in
surance patrol more than 100000 =.
II is only natural that the insurance
companies should, at the present time,
feel this loss most severely, and should
be continually trying new plans to
check it.
Their experience has taught them
that nearly all fires can be traced to
carelessness in one form or other, that
our fre-6ghting appliances need not
much further improvement, and that
preventive methods are the best suited
TO accomplish their purpose.
The principal insurance companies of
the city, actuated by such csnsidera-
tions, have adopted plan which is 80
simil lie and promises to be so effective
that 1t deserves to have public attention
called to it.
They have printed and propose to
distribute gratuitously through every
building, if necessary through every
room In the city, q handsomely en-
grsved set of Fire Cautions" Their
idea is that if these are posted IN con-
spicuous places in Office buildings, fac
tories, tenement houses, and the like,
the practical cautions they en- body will
not be apt 20 be forgotten. Certainly, if
they are remembered and always care
fully observed, accidental fires would be
few and far between.
The cautions are given below. It can
be seen that they are SENSIBLE, practical
and inteiligible:
Don't allow stoves or heaters en- your
premises which are not securely set on
stone, cemented brick, or metal, and be
sure that all woodwork near the stoves
or pipes is carefully protected with
metal.
Don't allow any loose-jointed gas
brackets on your premises which could
be swung against woodwork, or any gas
brackets without wire screens or globes,
if hay, straw, light materials or window
curtains are near them. ....
Don't allow any electric lights or wires
on your premises which are not properly
protected.
Don't allow steam pipes to be in con-
tact with wood or iDf1ammable material.
Don't allow any kerosene oil lamps 30
be filled after dark. Filling lamps near
a FIRE is dangerous.
Don't forget to keep the lamps filled
and wicks in good order. When the oil
is low 1t generates gas, which is liable to
explode.
Don't allow benzine, gasoline naphtha
or explosives in your place. Your in
sursnce policy prohibits it.
Don't allow ashes to be put in q
wooden box or barrel in your building.
Always have an iron ash-can.
Don't allow aoy oily waste or rags to
be thrown on the floor, but only in
metal can with cover. and have them
taken out OF the building every night;
they are seh-igniting.

FIRE CASUALTIES.
An Ounce Of Prevention From the
Insurance Companies

Every year millions of dollars worth
Of the material resources Of the country
are swept away by fire. This loss is an
absolute one. It cannot be replaced or
repaired. The individual owner does
not feel this if adequately insured, but
nevertheless, with every fire the country
at large is.poorer blythe anaonnt OF the
loss.
1t is alarming to note that in spite OF
our continually improving fac lities for
fighting fire, and the increasing num-
bers of 6re-proof buildings, the gross
losses throughout the country grows
steadily greater year by year. Below is
an accurate tabulated statement OF the
country's yearly loss by fire, which is
not pleasant reading:

These weapons were for delivery to Emil

distribute the weapons TO persons al

Lieut.. Steele says the department. has
enough evidence to convict these two
men and q number of others of
conspiracy. For two years anarchists
and socialists have made head
quarters in the northwestern portion of
the NORTH side, and especial attention
has been given by the police to that
section since the decision of the su-
preme court at Ottawa. Many of the
men indicted after the haymarket mas
sacre, but never brought to trial, live
and work in that section, While. to all
outward appearances, they seemed to
have avoided their old hsunta and
sympsthizers. they have ascretly been
taking an interest in the PRONUNCIATION
of their oldtime doctrines. The police
have had spies among them, and as soon
as they began their plotting last week o
number of them were taken in by the
detectives. Lieut.. Steele refuses TO sayl
how many prisoners have been made.
